Arvada, CO · Jefferson County
Olde Town side yards and Candelas filings, without a bid war.
Arvada runs from small Olde Town lots to northwest communities up against the foothills. The fence problem changes with the plat: tight setbacks downtown, design rules in Candelas and Leyden Rock.
Vetted and insured · 24/7 FenceOwl support
We only work with family-owned American companies. We believe they offer the best service at the best prices.

Arvada height, setback, permit, and HOA notes
Confirm height, setbacks, permits, and HOA standards with your city and your association before anyone orders materials.
- Front yard
- Front-yard height is often near 4 ft, with Olde Town overlays worth a separate check.
- Side and rear
- Side and rear privacy fences are often near 6 ft outside special districts.
- Setback
- Small Olde Town lots leave less room to miss the line. Northwest plats may include landscape tracts.
- Permit
- Arvada commonly requires a fence permit. Historic-adjacent blocks can add review.
- HOA
- Candelas and Leyden Rock are association-heavy. Olde Town and many mid-century blocks are not.
Also serves nearby: Wheat Ridge, Westminster, Golden. Searching one of those addresses recenters the map. The lead still counts under Arvada.
Weather on this fence
What the climate asks of a Arvada fence
Northwest Arvada takes more foothills wind than the streets closer to Sheridan. Hail crosses the whole city. Sun on a west fence at this elevation still eats a thin stain.
Materials that fit
Olde Town often wants a fence that fits an older street, which may mean wood picket or a shorter privacy run. Northwest filings more often specify vinyl or a stained cedar the committee already approved.
The $ budget tier
These crews are carefully vetted for quality work and craftsmanship, but they use cheaper materials that don't carry a warranty and they won't warranty the work either. The product is good for an under 10 year timeline. Everyone still carries the necessary insurance and any license their city requires. Contractors at this tier may not accept credit cards or offer financing.
Fence styles for a Arvada lot
Cedar dog-ear is the standard option. Craftsman cedar is the upgraded privacy style, on the higher budgets. Chain link is galvanized or black vinyl-coated, at 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft, with the same walk and drive gates. Wood picket, vinyl, composite, aluminum, iron, and custom include 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft. Split rail is an open wood post-and-rail fence, about 4 ft as 2-rail or 3-rail, with optional wire mesh. Answer a few quick questions, tell us where to send it, and see your price right away.

The map opens centered on Arvada with satellite imagery and street labels. Your street address recenters it. A line on that photo is not the property line: the contractor confirms it from a survey or plat and calls 811 before digging. The contractor desk records this city funnel on the lead.
Arvada questions
Is Olde Town on the same notes as Candelas?
This page uses one set of Arvada notes and then tells you the filings diverge. A northwest HOA packet is not the same review as a central block.
Do foothills gusts in northwest Arvada change the quote?
After you tell us where to send it, the number follows footage, style, and tier. Wind may change post details at the visit. It should not start a second round of haggling.
Can I search a Golden address from the Arvada map?
Yes. The map opens on Arvada and recenters when you pick a street. The funnel tag stays Arvada.
